Important Reminder

One of my Facebook finds:

Not that our so-called elected public servants pay a bit of attention to our reminders. They think of us as the peasants beyond the moat, peasants to be managed — as does "the establishment" of both political parties.

Is there any way that WE THE PEOPLE can take back the power that we've ceded via ignorance, misplaced trust, and political apathy?

He made some great jokes but to tout a Black president like he did then drop that word at the end?, like reminding us all of the 'evil past?'...might as well have been Eric Holder!!Actually, Obama was the great comedian Saturday night...his timing is impeccable and some of the lines were terrific! I have to admit.

Oh, wait...White People aren't offended by police brutality and mass incarceration? WHICH ONES? I'm NEVER offended by a Black person using the N-Word...they do it in fun or their own anger, and that's fine. I'm highly offended when anybody but a Black person uses it, particularly when he's just touted a black presidency, then drops that ridiculous word again? As if negating any progress? Sadly, Obama's administration pretty much negated any racial progress we'd made, starting with the Professor in Harvard, through Eric Holder's racism, etc etc...THAT is sad.

Kate Quigley, sister of Benghazi victim Glen Doherty, was shocked when Bill Clinton said he was amazed what his wife was “put through” when she had to answer hours of questions from the Benghazi Select Committee. “The insensitivity of that comment is shocking,” Quigley said on Fox News’ “The Kelly File.” “But clearly misguided sympathy runs in the family.”

Most people have forgotten that Bill Clinton was disbarred because he lied under oath in front of a grand jury, while serving as President of the US.

Now that appalling individual is “grandstanding” on the fact that Hillary was questioned for 11 hours by a Congressional Hearing, when she deserves much more profound questioning including her now proven, obvious lies about her use of a private, and very much unsecured, mail server.

I must admit that seeing “Slimy Bill” and his comments on how Hillary “would be the only American capable of withstanding this kind of questioning” makes me remember how Bill destroyed the image of the office of the president by his awful behavior with Monica Lewinsky and apparently a host of other women during his time in the White House.

After a rough week, Sen. Bernie Sanders told his supporters he isn't going anywhere. He's counting on a contested convention.

"Let me be very clear. It is virtually impossible for Secretary Clinton to reach the majority of convention delegates by June 14 with pledged delegates alone. In other words, the convention will be a contested contest," Sanders said at a press conference.

There is no reason to believe (other than blind faith) that Trump will do anything to correct the aberrations of our government.He may build a wall, deport some people, but he may very well do those things extra-legally ala executive order.

I think that having a Trump presidency will surprise people in a good way. He wants to make AMERICA great again, not to bow and scrape to the Chinese or anyone else. We need a period of nationalism to rebuild the place that the liberals damaged.

Trump is the only man who truly cares about our freedom, products, services, military personnel, law enforcement, citizens and our children's future. And so much more! Vote For Mr.Trump on Tuesday Indiana! Show your love and support for the Donald. Go Trump.

My post tomorrow mentions how I was listening to Levin yesterday, tho I don't usually, and he mentioned how FOX IS IN THE TANK FOR TRUMP, which made me laugh out loud. GAD, show me where THAT happens..!! :-)AND he quoted one of the women on OUTNUMBERED, but only quoted her enough to sound like she was praising Trump, and since I'd heard that statement LIVE, I knew Levin cut off her slam of Trump at the end of that thought.That's bad.

I'm hearing a lot of Conservatives saying "I can't vote for Trump"...even more than said that about Romney; FAR more.They didn't learn the lesson; anything is better than a liberal Democrat.So, we're going to ALL pay.... because all we have now is HOPE with Trump; we have to HOPE he's the guy his acquaintances say he is and not the nasty blowhard he comes off as.When he hired Manafort, that was an even worse sign; lets hope he can do FAR FAR better than that sleazebag.

You broke it, you bought it. I will not entertain the intellectual vacuousness of the common-core trumpeter logic because I find both 'choices' morally reprehensible. I get no satisfaction that so many of you will quickly be experiencing buyer's remorse.

DaBlade,I look at it this way. Had the establishment GOP had their way, Jeb would be the candidate. In my view, Jeb is "Hillary lite."

Look. I was a Ted Cruz supporter.

But the establishment GOP was determined that he would not be the nominee, and Ted Cruz has never been able to garner enough widespread vote to come to a convention with a win on the first ballot. I've also never believed that Cruz could win the general election -- particularly against Hillary.

Will Trump supporters quickly be experiencing buyer's remorse? Maybe.

But so many of us have suffered buyers' remorse so many times in the past when "our man" won.

"I mean, his father was with Lee Harvey Oswald, prior to Oswald being shot," Trump told Fox & Friends, referring to a weeks-old "exposé" from the National Enquirer that identified a Cuban-looking man handing out pro-Castro flyers with Oswald in August 1963 as Rafael Cruz. "And nobody even brings it up!"--------

This might be THE most disgusting thing Trump's said...and he calls Cruz the LIAR?What we all have to realize today is that Trump will say anything he likes because he's said so much outrageous stuff that nobody cares anymore; what they DO care about is what he SAID, and people HEAR and believe him. It's a very smart way to run a campaign...ugly, stupid, misleading and crude, but his numbers are going up. He's using methods right out of his books...how to get his way.And, of course, he's also winning because what American could vote for an avowed socialist or a true liar like "they were shooting at me!" Hillary? SO, he could win.God help us all.

Trump is not acquainted with the truth. It's easier and quicker to list his statements that aren't lies. Just another reason [along with his liberal positions] that I think there's a real chance his campaign has been a hoax all along.

Z,When he hired Manafort, that was an even worse sign; lets hope he can do FAR FAR better than that sleazebag.

"Shadow government" guys (aka advisers) and their affiliates are almost always sleazy. And powerful. So I read several years back in Robert Novak's The Prince of Darkness: 50 Years Reporting in Washington.

Since the pundits have been so wrong about Trump, so far, who's to say that [he] can't beat Shrillary? Shrillary, who's entire record proves, unequivocally, that [she] is the most unfit person (with the possible exception of the incumbent)to ever hold the office of POTUS. My question is: Will the path of self-destruction, fostered by the Left, continue or will we seek to reverse the suicidal trend, exacerbated in the past >7 years and beginning long before?

That's actually in question for you? I'm not sure he knows how to tell the truth....if it doesn't paint him in a good light.

I absolutely get the reaction against the 'establishment'...but it's been the voters who have put those folks in office every single time. To now fervently support [I understand the tepid party allegiance] an irrational, whiny, tantrum candidate....is throwing away any shred of reason.

Trump citing the top three functions of the federal government: "security, education, and healthcare, and housing, providing great neighborhoods”.

I learned my lesson long ago when out of some head-strong notion that Ross Perot had some chance, I supported him. Needless to say all I did was buttress Slick Willy's chances and ultimate election. Now, we are threatened with a disastrous legacy which began back then. Needless to say supporting a 3rd party candidate who has no chance, whatsoever, is nothing more than a complete exercise in futility or worse!

I don't begrudge neoconservatives - basically Democrats that voted for Reagan - because the label makes me think of Jeane Kirkpatrick more than anything sinister. The label is virtually meaningless now save for trying to get chummy with fellow leftists, and I have no fellow leftists.

This race is going exactly how Hillary Clinton wants it to go. May the best bullshitter win.

With all due respect, inasmuch as the 2nd Amendment and the Supreme Court face extreme peril and 'blue collar' workers (i.e. miners) are held in contempt (just to name a few concerns)I'll opt for the only chance we have to stop the continuation of B.O.'s wrath upon this nation.

I'd like to trust Trump on the 2A, but I simply don't. He's a liberal on many issues, and a shifty recent convert on this issue and others. I'm more worried about the effect his nomination will have on down ballot races and the GOP holding the Senate. That, in my opinion, is far more important than this circus sideshow of a POTUS election.

Beamish, It was the neocons in the party's management that made sure that Romney was the 2012 candidate. This time around, they were planning to manipulate the rules so that Jeb would be the candidate.

"Democrats want to confiscate all guns, which is a dumb idea because only the law-abiding citizens would turn in their guns and the bad guys would be the only ones left armed. The Republicans walk the NRA line and refuse even limited restrictions.

I generally oppose gun control, but I support the ban on assault weapons and I support a slightly longer waiting period to purchase a gun.

Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump has campaigned as an ardent advocate of expanding gun rights, but in the past he called for banning assault weapons and a longer waiting period for gun purchases.

Trump’s new gun plan calls for a national right to concealed carry and criticizes “opponents of gun rights” for coming “up with scary sounding phrases like ‘assault weapons,’ ‘military-style weapons,’ and ‘high capacity magazines’ to confuse people.” He has vowed to undo President Obama’s modest gun executive orders and even called for the elimination of all “gun-free zones” at schools.

This stands in contrast to what Trump used to advocate. In his book The America We Deserve, published in 2000, Trump took a much more moderate position, criticizing Democrats who argue for total gun confiscation but also Republicans who “walk the NRA line”....

My own views have changed drastically since 2000 -- not about the Second Amendment but about lots of other things.

My skin crawls when I hear one of these over-privileged pups laud another of the same ilk as a 'public servant.' Our California governor has often been called that. Hah! The man has held a real job for just one year in his life. You can tell the few who actually believe they are: they withdraw from the role after a decent interval and go back to earning a living (and not a million dollar salary on K Street).
